Etched Iridescent Feathers Pattern fills the sheet with upright, fine-lined feathers. Slender shafts, hatched barbs, and scattered dots between them. It is a line-forward, densely covered field, more drawn than graphic, with the etched iridescent glass holding the pattern in crisp outline across the surface.
The iridescent finish is a metallic sheen that shifts with the light and varies sheet to sheet, so each piece is unique. On Black Opalescent the etched feathers read bold and high-contrast; on Clear Transparent the design is subtler and passes light, suited to suncatchers and windows.
Best for statement panels, focal cuts, and jewelry, with enough fine detail to carry accent pieces. An ArtGlassSupplies.com exclusive.

Working Notes
Firing Guidelines & Helpful Tips
Firing schedules and surface results vary by kiln, glass thickness, base glass, coating, layering, and desired finish. These are guidelines, not guarantees. Use the base glass manufacturer's guidance, and test a small piece first when appearance or compatibility is important.
- Cut on the non-etched (back) side.
- Clear capping, uncapped firing, and coating-side orientation can each affect the final look. Coating side up tends toward a glossier finish, and coating side down tends toward a more matte finish. So test first when the result matters.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is etched iridescent glass?
An iridescent metallic-oxide coating on the glass surface; selected areas have been etched away to leave the pattern. The remaining coating gives a subtle metallic sheen that shifts with the light, and the etched-through areas reveal the base glass beneath. The coating is on one side only.
What base and finish options are available for Etched Iridescent Feathers Pattern COE90?
Black Opalescent or Clear Transparent base, in Gold, Rainbow, or Silver iridescent, 3mm thick. All options are selected at order time from the drop-downs.
Which side is the iridescent coating on?
The shinier, more-reflective side carries the coating. For most cutting, work from the non-etched back side to help protect the pattern. If you plan to cut differently or pre-fire first, test a small piece before using it in a finished project.
Which base and finish should I choose?
Black Opalescent gives bold contrast; Clear Transparent is subtler and passes light, suited to suncatchers and windows. Finish (Gold, Rainbow, or Silver) is personal taste. Final base and finish are yours to pick from the drop-downs.
Is the Etched Iridescent Feathers Pattern COE90 made to order?
Each piece is etched to order. Because it is etched on demand, it may not ship under our standard next-day shipping guarantee. Allow extra handling time.
Can I get a different iridescent color, or my own pattern etched?
Yes. Iridescent colors not pictured and custom etching are available, and you can have your own pattern etched onto iridescent glass. Contact AGS to arrange it.
